Chapter 56: An Unusual Sword
In the afternoon, Klose came over with Leon's saber to present the treasure, looking quite excited.
"My lord, I have resharpened this sword...... It's a great sword, and the real blade inside it is almost indestructible! ”
"This sword is probably made of a very rare meteorite, and this is the best sword I've ever seen......"
After handing the sword into Leon's hands, Klose still sighed, it seems that he was once a blacksmith and very fond of high-quality weapons.
The sword looked even older after it had been completely decorated from its surface.
The blade was very smooth, but it was dull to look at, black and inconspicuous, and it felt like wood rather than metal, but the coolness of metal oozes when you touch it.
In the middle of the blade there was an indecipherable line of runes, on both sides, and this rune looked like it had seeped into the blade, which was very strange.
And near the sword, an inscription of a griffin.
Leon took the sword and shook it, feeling more comfortable.
A leaf fell from the tree next to it, landing on the black wood-like blade that didn't look sharp, the sword didn't move, but the leaf was still directly split in half by the blade.
Such a unique and sharp sword should have been a treasure that was famous all over the world.
But it was deliberately concealed with a layer of ordinary silver plating, even sacrificing its original sharpness for this purpose - it must have been a choice of desperation.
The griffin coat of arms printed on the hilt of the sword is worn off, and the coat of arms engraved on the blade is also obscured......
It's easy to guess what this sword means—it's probably a token of allegiance from the Griffon Knights to the royal family of Pande.
Just like the 'Dragon's Fang' dedicated by the Dragon Knights to the King of the Raven Kingdom.
Then, the origin of this body is easier to guess.
Shaking his head and sighing, Leon summoned Sarah and asked her to make patterns and banners based on the griffin crest on the sword.
Then, he and Sarah will take the coat of arms to the county government, that is, to the White Deer Fort for the record.
Leon definitely didn't plan to go to Long River Town, although Elledegg was previously designated as the direct knight of Duke Elfwan, but now that Elder Deig is gone, Long River Town can't manage it......
The town of Changhe is now the territory of the Grand Duke of Alma, and the Grand Duke must not have a good opinion of him, and Leon does not want to die himself.
The current newly built territory here, 'Maixiang Village', geographically speaking, belongs to the jurisdiction of Bailu Fort.
The filing of heraldic and pioneer collar is a necessary process.
Going to the House of Lords of Lion City is to register and approve, obtain the status of the Pioneer Lord, and confirm the general direction of the Pioneer Territory - at that time, it was registered in the Long River Forest.
After you start building your territory, you have to go to the higher-level units near the territory, that is, go to the county to file and register your flag and coat of arms, so that other nearby lords don't treat you as a bandit......
The county will keep the coat of arms of the pioneer lord for the time being, and apply for verification after the pioneer lord has established the territory.
The verification was also done by the county - the principle of proximity, after all, it was too far to send someone from the royal house of the kingdom, and there was no high-speed rail in this era.
After the acceptance of the territory, the county will report to the House of Lords of the Kingdom along with the coat of arms on file.
It is not until the House of Lords receives the results of the county's verification that the coat of arms of the lord is officially sealed, and the official title is issued, and a notice is sent to the nobles of the whole country that a new member of the ruling class has been added.
If the pioneer leader fails to pass the audit, if he has a good relationship with the lord of the county, he may still have a chance to remedy, otherwise he may be recovered from the noble emblem and lose the qualification of the pioneer lord.
Sarah's duties as a foreign officer also include these communicative matters.
Early the next morning, Leon and Sarah set off for White Deer Castle.
The road to White Deer Fort was not easy, and it took Leon and Sarah more than half a day to complete the eighty-mile mountain road—the road was in such bad condition that the horses could not run at all.
It is no wonder that Whitedeg was unable to rescue Fort White Hart in time when the Gatu attacked him.
White Hart Fort is a castle located on the eastern border of the kingdom, a mountain fortress that guards the eastern passage.
Unlike Fort Yongdun on the northeastern border, Fort White Deer has been established for many years.
A hundred years ago, it was just an ordinary frontier, like the village of Elledeig.
However, as more and more territories were opened up to the southeast of Changhe Town, and the distance from Changhe Town became farther and farther, Bailubao was used as the county and a separate county was set up.
The same is true for Fort Shield.
In recent decades, after the Bacchus Empire in the south gradually pushed its territory northward and built the 'Shield Wind Fortress' in the southern part of the Dengier Mountains, Fort White Hart, as the first front line, faced war after war.
White Deer Fort guards the eastern passage of the kingdom, and if White Deer Fort is not taken, the Bacchus Empire will not want to enter the hinterland of the kingdom, and in this regard, it is also similar to Yongdun Fort.
Baron Godric, the lord of White Hart Castle, has made a name for himself in defensive battles one after another.
But unlike Count Auden, a famous general who was good at expanding his territory, Baron Godric was an excellent 'defender'.
He never took the initiative to attack the Bacchus Empire, but he was able to repel his enemies in every defensive battle, and then continued to expand and strengthen Fort White Hart.
Over the decades, the border castle of Fort White Deer has been expanded at least eight times, each time adding fortifications to the original fortifications.
Bailu Fort is built on the top of the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, and the defensive position is excellent, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under the tireless construction of the city defense by Baron Godric, White Hart Fort has now become a towering fortress, and the Bacchus Empire has not fought the idea of the eastern part of the kingdom for many years.
The first time he saw White Deer Castle, Li Ang had a trace of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Because this is an extremely beautiful castle, it must be a first-class five-star scenic spot in modern times.
The whole castle stands on a high mountain, or the whole mountain is a castle, and the high wall erected on the mountainside pulls the difference between the outermost wall of the castle and the valley at the foot of the mountain to tens of meters, which looks extremely spectacular.
The stone walls are mottled and the red tile roofs are not ornately decorated, but against the backdrop of the forest behind the mountain, they reveal a rugged and simple beauty.
The hills on both sides of the castle are also arranged with independent lookouts and military stations.
Above the city gate, the Three Lions Flag on a red background is hoisted, which is the banner of Baron Godric.
The defenders in front of the gate looked spirited, mostly archers in armor.
After all, it was a border fortress, and these archers were probably the most conscientious and responsible guards that Leon had ever encountered, and even when he saw Leon's new black-on-white griffin flag, he still carefully checked the noble insignia and sent someone to 'escort' the two to the inside of the castle.
The attitude is polite, but it just looks a bit like an escort.
"Lord Godric is in the main building at the top, your horse can be kept in the stable below the city for the time being, and we will take care of its ......"
After 'handing' Leon over to the two chamberlains in the castle and saying a polite farewell to Leon, the archers returned to their posts.
The two squires were a little more polite and warm, but more vigilant—they demanded that Leon and Sarah untie their swords.
"Your Excellency Leon, I'm sorry, except for the Baron himself, you need to disarm when you enter the main castle building, I will always follow you with your sword, don't worry about losing it."
Sarah and Leon looked at each other, both of them a little surprised.
Even in the Lion City House of Lords, there was no such requirement - the sword was not just a weapon for the nobles, but also a symbol of dominance.
You know, the symbol of the sworn allegiance of elite armed forces such as the Dragon Knights or the Griffin Knights to their respective kings is the sword.
